  • Patent number: 6488119
    Abstract: A folding sawhorse of the type comprising two trestle like frames that are hingedly connected at their tops. The shelf is hingedly attached to a lower strut of one frame and slidably attached to the legs of the opposite frame. The slidable attachment is by means of pairs of pins that are secured to one end of the pivoting shelf and are also yoked to longitudinal ridges that are in the legs of the opposite frame. To open the sawhorse from its closed, storage position, the frames are spread apart slightly, thereby allowing gravity to pull the shelf downwardly and concurrently causing the frames to spread outwardly to their open, working position. The sawhorse will stay in this locked open position without any additional latching mechanisms until the close procedure is initiated.
